Tuc Tuc Plain

The simple, affordable travel buggy with a bassinet option
.eli
see 1 parent review

The Tuc Tuc Plain is a lightweight buggy made for traveling and occasional use for travels. Although the uniquely patterned wheels (reminding of the [[babystyle-hybrid|Babystyle Hybrid's design) are equipped with a suspension system, they are quite small and equipped with just a mild suspension system, so you'll make the best use of the Plain on smoother surfaces.

Thanks to the backrest and leg rest that can be individually adjusted up to a lie-flat, the Plain buggy is also suitable for children that cannot sit independently yet. It can also be paired up with a carrycot that is inserted into the seat, creating a from-birth travel system. A very nice addition to this budget-friendly model is a simple hood that has an integrated UV protective mesh, covering most of your child when attached to the gate-open bumper bar. A rain cover and a carry bag are included with the Plain ultracompact stroller.

parents say thx^^
  • compact
  • lightweight
  • pretty
  • THE UV SUNSHADE
  • not too much suspension
  • small wheels
  • not too sturdy seat back
  • not too roomy (no way to put a 22 kg child in there)
  • not every airline accepts it

A nice little stroller, even though quite simple and not too sturdy. Not too much suspension so best for shopping and such.

Be careful as not every airline accepts its folded dimension. I love SO MUCH the integrated UV shade. Such a cool thing! And simple! They should put this on every stroller that exists.
